On March 11, around 9:15 p.m., the Evansville Police Department was called to the 2500 block of Sunburst Blvd. for a one week old infant that wasn’t breathing. When officers arrived a previously dispatched ambulance unit was attempting to revive the infant.
The infant’s mother told authorities that she had just fed the infant around 9:00 p.m. and then placed her in a swing. About 15 or 20 minutes later, she went to check on her and discovered that she wasn’t breathing. The mother quickly called 911.
After all attempts to revive the infant failed, she was transported by the ambulance crew to a local hospital where she was officially pronounced deceased.
The Evansville Police Department’s Crime Scene Unit, Detectives, and Department of Child Services (D.C.S.)are currently investigating.
